Brehs I was looking to join the PC gang and just stick with a budget build...and of course I couldn't contain myself and wanted more :dead:

The monitor will have to wait a few months probably after spending all of this. But what do ya'll think. Should I wait to see if some prices go down or is the 1080 pretty much what it's gonna be at for the time being. I read it's not really affected by the mining bullshyt like the other cards. I was looking at the 1070 initially but the 1080 is within 50-70 dollars of it. There's no point.
That motherboard should have wireless built in right?

The only negative is power consumption with AMD products.
Oh, I got a a Corsair 1200 watt. I'm good. I'm gonna start from scratch with the possible AMD build. Maybe I'll go back to 1500 watts (I have a corsair 1500 in my old machine). We'll see. If the chips and gpus beat out Intel and Nvidia at a cheaper price, I'll buy them

Vega power consumption :picard:

Vega 64 Trading blows with a 1080 but using between 120 - 150 extra watts to do it :picard:
